Gallery Concerts: Caroline Nicolas – Keeping Tabs on the Gamba
Free
Caroline Nicolas, viola da gamba
Just like a caterpillar turns into a butterfly, the viola da gamba underwent a metamorphosis from the lute, conveying with it vestigial traits of the lute tradition. Chief among them was the practice of reading from tablature, only now with a bow in hand. Rising star Caroline Nicolas chaperones our exploration of transformation in the music of Carl Friedrich Abel, Diego Ortiz, and Tobias Hume.
The broadcast will be available at 3pm Pacific.
